What if I suspect Medicare fraud?

Who is this for?

If you think you’ve experienced or seen health care fraud, this explains how to tell us about it.

Notice something fishy on your Medicare billing statement or Explanation of Benefits? Did you get charged for something you didn’t get? Or billed for the same thing twice? These common red flags are signs of fraud. If your instinct is to investigate further, we encourage you to do so.

First, ask the doctor, hospital or medical facility about the particular service or claim in question.

Still suspicious? Call our confidential Medicare Anti-Fraud hotline.

Why report fraud?

Medicare loses billions of dollars every year to fraudulent claims. But health care fraud ultimately results in higher costs for you, too. It equals higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs, and reduced benefits and coverage.
